I'm sorry this happened, OP. There was no right option, and it depends on personal preferences as to which option is the least worse, so don't overthink it. It just sucks all around. If he had said something really cutting, in front of the kids no less, you would resent him for that, too. All you can do is to state for future fights, that next time you'd rather he try to stay calm, or say the cutting thing publicly, instead of walking off. Fights can have ground rules like this of both parties agree to them.

My husband is impulsive and can act in a highly irrational manner sometimes. He has accused me of abandoning him, when he has gotten out of the car and refused to get back in, or stalked off without a word when we're going to a restaurant, etc. I can't put our lives on hold when he does these things, and go chase after him, so I've told him that if he does that, I will go on with the kids to whatever we had planned to do. It's sort of like a reverse-hostage situation. He still cannot see that it's abusive on his part and because of that, it's likely to re-occur at some point.
